When facing an unplanned pregnancy, the most important thing is not just “to do or not to do” but “how to do it safely and correctly”. Thailand offers options for safe pregnancy termination under the supervision of a doctor, legally, if you meet the criteria.
Modern and safe methods of pregnancy termination
1. Medication (Medical Abortion)
- Uses medication that causes the uterus to contract and expel the pregnancy tissue
- Can be used at a medical facility or at home (telemedicine services with proper registration, such as RSA Prompt)
- For telemedicine registration, receive medication to terminate pregnancy at home for pregnancies not exceeding 12 weeks
- Pregnancies over 12 weeks must be terminated at a medical facility, possibly requiring an overnight stay at the hospital
- Must be under the care of a doctor or legally authorized service unit
Advantages
- No surgery required
- High privacy
- Mimics natural miscarriage
2. Manual Vacuum Aspiration (MVA)
- Suitable for pregnancies not exceeding 12 weeks (or up to 16 weeks in facilities with specialized doctors)
- Involves using instruments to suction tissue from the uterine cavity
- Performed in a licensed medical facility under the supervision of a doctor
Advantages
- Quick procedure with immediate results
- Less bleeding compared to medication
- No overnight stay required
Choose the right path, start with “accurate information”
Decisions should be made after
- Confirming pregnancy
- Assessing gestational age
- Consulting with experts who provide information without judgment
- Receiving services from authorized units with medical supervision
Safe options, start as soon as you are ready
